THE DAILY AL “ALL THE NEWS ALL THE TIME” SKA E VOL. LXXV., NO. 11,493 {STHALIBUT AT SEATILE SELLS HIGH SEATTLE, May 2—(M—The first * halibut of the 1950 season has ar- rived in Seattle a little earlier and a little higher than last year. The shipment of 13,100 pounds was brought to Seattle by truck » from Neah Bay yesterday. It was sold to the San Juan Fishing and Packing Company for 36 cents a pound for all sizes. Last year’s first shipment was received on May 5 and sold for 33% cents a pound for medium sized fish and 26 cents for large and small. It was brought into the harbor aboard the, vessel Unimak. Yesterday’s shipment included 8,600 pounds of medium, 3,700 pounds of small and 800 pounds of large fish. The first vessels of the halibut fleet are expected to arrive in the harbor Thursday or Friday. HALIBUT AT RUPERT PRINCE RUPERT, B.C., May 2— (P—First halibut of the 1950 season was landed today at Prince Ruper: chief headquarters of British Co- lumbia’s halibut fleet. Less than two days after the sea- son’s opening, two packers landed 63,000 pounds of the tender, white- bellied fish. The early catch usually . is shipped fresh to markets in . Eastern Canada and the Eastern United States. MILL IS AHEAD OF PRODUCTION RATE ON OPENING DAY Exceeding scheduled production, the new Juneau Lumber Company started cutting lumber yesterday on the site of the old Juneau Spruce Corporation mill. For the first time since the disastrous Juneau Sprucé fire late in August, the plant was humming with activity, and smoke poured from the burner. “We had figured on cutting 10,00: board feet a day,” said B. C. Can- oles, President and Business Man- ager, “but we had already cut that much by 1 pm. We have so many orders ahead that it will take us ¢ little while to catch up with them. Everything looks fine.” Like this reporter, hundreds of persons have said they miss the mili whistle, and hope the familiar sig- nals soon will be heard again. Can- oles thinks it will be several weeks, as a conveyor must be built from the sawdust bins to the powerhouse, before steam will be available. Lee Grant is working on this now. Soon, Juneauites .can check their clocks by the 8, 12, 1 and 5 o’clock whistles. J. R. Murphy is associated with Canoles, as Vice-President and mill Superintendent. FROM ANCHORAGE Charles F.

'ASHINGTON — President Tru- man promised a group of mayors the other day to heckle Congress until rent controls are extended, but he refused to make a “last appeal.” He said that rent con- trols might even be needed for an- other year, despite the fact that some of the big-city mayors who came to him for help were willing to compromise. ¢ Mayor William Devin of Seattle, Wash., suggested: “Mr. President, we think it would help if you could come out and say this extension will be the last one.” “I can't say this is the end,” replied the President. “The end of rent controls depends on econ- omic conditions a year from’now.” “You can't set a definite date,” agreed Mayor Thomas Nichols of Canton, Ohio, who warned that removal of rent controls would cause “serious repercussions.” . “It would be too much of a shock to go off controls right away,” observed Los Angeles’ May- or Fletcher Bowron . “We should decontrol by degrees, starting with the high rent brackets.” In greeting the delegation, Tru- man declared: “I am certainly very happy to see the mayors, come here on this very knotty problem.
